What is disco and dance music?
Disco is a genre of dance music that is characterized by elements of funk, soul, pop and salsa. It achieved popularity during the mid-1970s to the early 1980s and is still very popular today. Back to main menu

History and important dates
Disco and Dance music blossomed from the music played at gay underground New York clubs in the 1970s. Studio 54, a famous nightclub in New York, played an essential role in creating the nightclub scene that is still with us today. The nightclubs were and are still a place to be dressed flashily. In 1942, “la discothèque”, a basement nightclub, opens in Paris. The term “discothèque” is later used across Europe to describe clubs where there is no live music played. These early nightclubs played a considerable role in creating the disco and dance scene. Back to main menu

Some of the typical instruments of disco and dance music-The electric guitar
The electric guitar is the result of guitarist’s desire to play the guitar and hear it at a louder volume. Electric guitars became particularly important during the era of big bands, as the conventional acoustic guitars started to struggle to be heard along with the other instruments. They are made with solid, semi-hollow and hollow bodies. Using an instrument cable or wireless system, the electric guitar is plugged into an amp(lifier). Usually, the instruments have 6, 7 or 8 strings. Back to main menu

The keyboard The term “keyboard instrument“ refers to any musical instrument on which different notes can be sounded by pressing a series of keys, push buttons or parallel levers. The keyboard has its origins in instruments like the organ, the harpsichord and the piano. In nearly all keyboards used in Western music the keys run from the bass at the left and the treble at the right. However, the number of keys on keyboards can differ widely. Back to main menu

The synthesizer Another particularly important part of disco and dance music is the music synthesizer, also called electronic sound synthesizer. It is a machine that electronically generates and modifies sounds, frequently with the use of a digital computer. They are often used for the composition of electronic music and in live performances. The first synthesizer was developed by the American acoustical engineers Harry Olsen and Herbert Belar in 1955. Back to main menu

The most important technical features
The modern disco and dance music is written in a time signature of 4/4 and in a fast tempo. It contains four-on-the-floor rhythms, which is a drum style where the bass drum plays on all four beats of the 4/4 bar and the hi-hat cymbal (another part of the drums) plays on the offbeats. Disco and dance music is also characterized by guitar driven energy, luscious orchestral arrangements, vocals with reverbs and verse and chorus structure. The lyrics are often escapist and about love and dancing. Back to main menu

Menu Definition History Origins Subgenres Artists Examples Instruments Techniques features Musical Impact

Definition Melancholic music of black American folk origin, typically in a twelve-bar sequence. It developed in the rural southern US towards the end of the 19th century, finding a wider audience in the 1940s, as blacks migrated to the cities. This urban blues gave rise to rhythm and blues and rock and roll. Menu

history The genre developed from roots in African musical traditions, African-American work songs, spirituals, and folk music. Blues incorporated spirituals, work songs, field hollers, shouts, chants, and rhymed simple narrative ballads. The blues form ubiquitous in jazz, rhythm and blues and rock and roll. Menu

origins Many elements, such as the call-and-response format and the use of blue notes, can be traced back to the music of Africa. The first appearance of the blues is often dated to after the ending of slavery and, later, the development of juke joints. It is associated with the newly acquired freedom of the former slaves. Chroniclers began to report about blues music at the dawn of the 20th century. The first publication of blues sheet music was in Blues has since evolved from unaccompanied vocal music and oral traditions of slaves into a wide variety of styles and subgenres. Menu

Subgenres Blues subgenres include country blues, such as Delta blues and Piedmont blues, as well as urban blues styles such as Chicago blues and West Coast blues. World War II marked the transition from acoustic to electric blues and the progressive opening of blues music to a wider audience, especially white listeners. In the 1960s and 1970s, a hybrid form called blues rock evolved. Menu

Instruments A typical blues band includes at least one guitarist, bass player and drummer and a vocalist. Vocals are sometimes provided by one of the instrumentalist. Often another guitar player is added to the rhythm section. The lead guitarist may play with a pick or finger-style. He/she also may use a metal or glass slide to fret t he guitar to get a different feeling to his/her sound. The amplifiers are an Important factor in the guitarist sound. Many guitarists feel that a tube amplifier is key to the blues sound. A keyboardist is a valued member of a bigger band along with a horn player (usually saxophone). Violin is also used in some bands as a solo instrument. Often the vocalist plays harmonica and percussion instruments to fill out the blues sound. Menu

Technical features The Blues are characterized by a call-and-response pattern. the blues scale and specific chord progressions, of which the twelve-bar blues is the most common. Blue notes (or "worried notes")usually thirds or fifths flattened in pitch, are also an essential part of the sound. Blues shuffles or walking bass reinforce the trance-like rhythm and form a repetitive effect known as the groove. Menu

Musical Impact Blues musical styles, forms (12-bar blues), melodies, and the blues scale have influenced many other genres of music, such as rock and roll, jazz, and popular music. Prominent jazz, folk or rock performers, such as Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, Miles Davis, and Bob Dylan have performed significant blues recordings. The blues scale is often used in popular songs like Harold Arlen's "Blues in the Night", blues ballads like "Since I Fell for You" and "Please Send Me Someone to Love", and even in orchestral works such as George Gershwin's "Rhapsody in Blue" and "Concerto in F". Gershwin's second "Prelude" for solo piano is an interesting example of a classical blues, maintaining the form with academic strictness. The blues scale is ubiquitous in modern popular music and informs many modal frames, especially the ladder of thirds used in rock music (for example, in "A Hard Day's Night"). Menu

Handclapping Percussion tube Rasp

The Didgeridoo The Didgeridoo provides a constant drone on a deep note, somewhere between D flat and G below the bass clef. This drone is broken up into a great variety of rhythmic patterns and accents by the use of the tongue and cheeks. Many different tones are made by altering the shape of the mouth and the position of the tongue and Cheecks. YouTube Video

The bullroarer A piece of wood attached to a long string which is swung around to make a roaring sound. and a device historically used for communicating over long distances. YouTube Video

Gumleaf the leaf is held tightly against the lower lip and, in a bent shape, lightly against the upper lip. It is stretched rather tightly between the two hands. When air goes through the mouth, it lifts the top of the leaf away from the upper lip and allows air to escape, so the valve can be described as an "outward-swinging door.” YouTube Video

Clapsticks A singer holds a pair of wooden sticks, one in each hand. One long and slightly flattened stick is generally grasped in the middle and held flat. The other stick, more rounded and held towards the end. YouTube Video

Handclapping Handclapping and slapping parts of the body are used by singers, sometimes as a substitute for a pair of sticks. YouTube Video

Percussion Tube A hollow log drum used with particular songs.

GRUNGE MUSIc A guide to the genre that shaped the early nineties.

Index Definition Dates/Era Audience Purpose Artists Instruments

What is grunge? Grunge is an alternative rock style that got its name to fame in the early nineties by using heavy electric guitar and dragging lyrics. The genre grew quickly as it used relevant and angst lyrics that appealed to teens of the time. A lot of grunge bands became uncomfortable with their massive success and many bands fell because of it.

When was grunge introduced to the world?
The term grunge was first used to describe the dirty-guitar bands that emerged from Seattle in the late 1980s as a bridge between mainstream 1980s heavy metal–hard rock and postpunk alternative rock.

The genre’s typical audience
The target audience for grunge music was teenagers, or young people as it captured teenage angst and had usually relatable or relevant lyrics.

Why did it happen? It was out of the environment of rainy Seattle that grunge was born. And reborn, as it happens. In fact, grunge is one musical genre that is so inbred that it’s hard to distinguish who came up with what and when. Pearl Jam guitarist Stone Gossard alone was involved in nine different bands between 1982 and The genre changed about as much as the bands and their line-ups did. As a result, the music scene was very much like a big dysfunctional family, one that could be described as the Partridge Family on downers. Still, it was a family that put together some great music.

Who made it happen? The first big break for grunge artists was the Deep Six compilation. The compilation featured Green River, Soundgarden, The Melvins, Malfunkshun (featuring Andrew Wood, who would later front the band Mother Love Bone), Skinyard and The U-Men. It was released in March of 1986 and became the “grunge” album of the time. And while the compilation probably doesn’t sound like the grunge we think of, but it was definitely the basis (The Melvins, for example, sound more like just punk rock than grunge).

THE TOOLS Heavy distorted guitar, bass guitar and drums.
